| About the image
McCullin said that he hated carrying cameras, instead preferring to carry a conscience. He felt guilty that he took pictures with the eyes of a photographer, and not with the concern of a social worker. According to him, his moody, dramatic pictures reflected his pessimistic view that there's not much hope for a better society in the future.
